    Check it out at Target.com.

    It is so easy to use.

    No water boiling, no waiting around.

    Just put the eggs and water in the device and plug it in.

    The thing buzzes when they are done.

    You have got to be kidding.....now we need a damn device to boil an egg?!!? I'm telling you, all it takes a pot that you already have and water. It doesn't take a miracle of Jesus to boil an egg.

    lol

    Yeah, my wife needs a device to cook rice. I tell her to boil 2 parts water, one part rice, and simmer for 15 minutes. How much easier can it get? She would insist on a rice cooker if I didn't make the rice.

    The key to rice is a heavy pot.

    I put the eggs in...add cold water - let come to a boil and boil for about 8 minutes. and then, turn off and pour out water...let eggs cool.

    no more runny eggs.

    :D

    Haha this^^^^

    Put them in the cold water, turn on the heat. After the water boils, let it boil for about 10 minutes. Turn it off, dump out the hot water in the sink and immediately run cold water into the pan. Do this a couple times. Then leave them in the cold water for a bit before peeling them. Supposedly the super fresh eggs are the hardest to peel (ie. the ones most recently laid).

    Put the eggs in a pot and cover with water (any temp). Cook eggs for 30 minutes on a medium to high flame, then rinse with cold water and peel. Presto... hard boiled eggs.

    Alright, put a hole in the end of the egg with a skewer. Only a very small one so all the egg doesn't come out. I think this prevents pressure building up in the egg and exploding. Then put them into some water, so it is just covering the egg, bring to the boil. Once it is on the boil, leave it on the boil for about 6-7 minutes, you should get the yolk a little hard but still a little soft. Give this way a go.....

    seriously this thing makes the perfect boiled eggs. i use it all the time. it comes with all you need and it's really easy. doesn't take much water and it works on its own timer so you don't have to worry about them. here's what it looks like up close so you can get a better idea - http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g109/amperryman7/DSCN0198.jpg



    or do it the old fashioned way and bring water to a boil, drop eggs in, and i let them boil for 10 or 15 minutes and they're done.

    good luck! ;)
